COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at Hill Country Herb Garden, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes. With 30 or more guests, you get exclusive use of Hill Country Herb Garden’s restaurant and gardens all day, so your ceremony and reception happen on one property and nobody has to drive between them. The Garden holds 100+ guests outdoors, and a full restaurant and garden buyout (the Wisteria Room, Main Dining Hall, Bar and Garden) works for 200+. Ceremony seating setup is included in your rental fee.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to Hill Country Herb Garden or do we have to use yours?

You can bring most of your team, but food and drinks come from Hill Country Herb Garden. Because of licensing, all food and beverage service is handled in-house, and Texas TABC rules mean no outside alcohol on the property. Your florist, photographer, entertainment, rentals and décor are yours to choose. One requirement to plan around: every wedding here needs a wedding planner or coordinator, so book one early.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at Hill Country Herb Garden, and is there a minimum?

A wedding for 30 or more guests at Hill Country Herb Garden in Fredericksburg, Texas, starts with a rental fee of $6,500 Monday–Thursday or $10,000 Friday–Sunday, with no food & beverage minimum. Micro weddings under 30 guests are $85 per guest with a $1,700 minimum, plus a $600 food & beverage minimum. Catering is in-house, with meals running $45–$125 per person depending on your menu and service style, and bar packages run $12–$18 per guest, per hour. A 28% service charge applies. Here’s the thing to budget for: weddings of 30+ guests also require a two-night buyout of all 14 on-site cottages, priced separately. Once you have a date and guest count, the events team can put together your custom quote.

Where would our out-of-town guests stay near Hill Country Herb Garden, and can you help with a room block?

Your guests can stay right on the property. Hill Country Herb Garden has 14 cottages, each with a king bed, a spa-style bathroom with house-made bath products, and a breakfast basket delivered every morning. Weddings of 30 or more guests require a two-night block of all 14 cottages. Block rates run $150–$225 per cottage on Sunday–Thursday nights and $225–$300 on Friday and Saturday nights, with peak pricing March–June and September–December. A nonrefundable $500 deposit holds the block. You can add the Garden House, with two full kitchens and its own garden entrance, separately. Need more rooms? Sister properties The Winchester Lodge (18 suites) and The Evers House (6 suites) can take the overflow, and the team helps coordinate the whole weekend.

What makes Hill Country Herb Garden different from the other venues near it?

Hill Country Herb Garden brings an outdoor garden wedding, on-site cottages, a restaurant and a spa together on one property, a few minutes from Main Street in Fredericksburg. It does micro weddings really well: with fewer than 30 guests, you pay $85 per guest with a $1,700 minimum and there’s no lodging requirement. The setting has European vibes, with gardens, a covered pergola and chef-curated, garden-inspired menus. With 14 cottages and the Garden House on site, your guests can book spa treatments, walk to your rehearsal dinner and gather again for a farewell brunch.
